Top Mackinaw City Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, very accommodating. Appreciate all that they did, wonderful team."

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because housekeepers didn’t do a good job cleaning our room. Also, the food served at breakfast was not good. It lacked seasoning."

Days Inn by Wyndham Mackinaw City/Bridgeview Area

8/10 Good

"Received clean towels daily and trash emptied. Bed not made (3 day stay) No refill of coffee"

Clarion Hotel Mackinaw City Beachfront

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was on the lakeside and we LOVE the view-especially the morning sunrise. Absolutely gorgeous! Breakfast was great with a large variety of things."

Bayside Hotel of Mackinac

8/10 Good

"Friendly front counter employee. Water park was nice for young kids, but the water was super cold so my son did not want to play on that side. We enjoyed the pool instead. It was a maze to get over to it bc I didn't realize it was a different building then the hotel. We stayed 2 nights, it was nice to see fresh towels after the first night. I was uncomfortable that there wasn't a fitted sheet on the bed. It was 2 flat sheets, thin blanket and another sheet. I personally prefer a fitted sheet bc we toss and turn then now we are sleeping on the mattress protector which I know is most likely not cleaned between each stay. Otherwise it wasn't bad."
